A short hop over to portugal, and get some sun and hiking and swimming. As on my previous trip I found the people very helpful and friendly, Alvor was full of Irish, and Irish pubs, the Hotel was excellent there was usb ports in the sockets, and one socket also had an Irl/UK standard socket. Lagos was a good place to go to the cliff walk out to the lighthouse well worth it, and unlike the previous visit where we were banjaxed after a couple of days of surfing and unable to climb down and up too many steps, this time we did were able to and went for another dip in the sea. The weather was in October, mid 20s celcius, I think if i went at the height of summer I would melt! I do look forward to going there again sometime.

Salzburger Skiwelt, St Veit im Pongau, St Johann Alpendorf, Wagrain and Flachau
Back again in Austria, Ski Amade (https://www.skiamade.com/en) for some skiing and messing with the Visually Impaired and Blind ski gang. Another excellent trip. ok conditions were poor on tuesday and especially wednesday when it was a complete white out, but excellent weather and conditions on Monday and Friday particularly. The Metzgerwirt hotel (https://www.hotel-metzgerwirt.com/en/) treated us well as did Cafe Platzhirsch - St. Veit aka Theresas bar on the Market square, we had some nice evenings singing and playing music, some good chats and craic as ever.
Thanks to Chef de Mission Dave and the guys for organising it, and Siegi Tours(https://siegitours.com/) Irene, Kirsten and Michael for helping put together such a great trip again. Til Next year... #SkiAmade #SaltburgerSkiWelt (https://www.salzburgersportwelt.com/)

Lagos, Portgual, Surf Trip
Overall it was a great trip and reasonably priced. It was a good time of the year not too busy and nice weather, the resort had a real calm before the summer storm, feel with everyone we met in good form. I would recommend it and eagerly go again.
First time in Portugal so add it to the map.
